Chemical peels are growing in popularity with new agents, formulas and methods giving them greater reliability and safety. Although the operative procedure may seem relatively simple, proper knowledge and skills of the physician and education of the patient is crucial. It is very important for the physician to know chemical structure of the peels, level of necrosis they make in the skin, indications, absolute and relative contraindications, side effects and complications. It is also very important to evaluate the patients, their needs and their expectations, and to present them objective possibilities of the procedure. In chemical peels and their efficacy, preoperative and postoperative care plays an important role, which is out of the reach of the physician and therefore should be emphasized in consultation with the patient.

This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of camellia oil on 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD) in mice, as well as its effect on the expression of skin-barrier-related proteins. A mouse model of AD was created via topical application of DNCB; subsequently, the animals were randomly divided into four groups: the blank control (Control), model (Model), moisturizing cream (Moisturizer), and camellia oil (Camellia) groups. The Camellia group received camellia oil, whereas the Moisturizer group was treated with moisturizing cream, as a positive control.

Polymer-Free and Dry Patterning of Wafer-Scale Two-Dimensional Semiconductors via van der Waals Delamination.

Nano Lett

Key Laboratory for Micro-Nano Optoelectronic Devices of Ministry of Education, School of Physics and Electronics, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted a considerable amount of interest as channel materials for future transistors. Patterning of 2D semiconductors is crucial for separating continuous monolayers into independent units. However, the state-of-the-art 2D patterning process is largely based on photolithography and high-energy plasma/RIE etching, leading to unavoidable residues and degraded device uniformity, which remains a critical challenge for the practical application of 2D electronics.

Development of bio-supported photocatalysts has become a pressing need in the field of environmental remediation. This work reports the synthesis of bio-enzyme (from banana peels) inherited (ZnO/g-CN) nanocomposite by simple soft chemical method and its photocatalytic degradation ability against the mixed dye (Methylene blue (MB) + Rhodamine-B (RhB)) under UV irradiation. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using experimental techniques XRD, FESEM, TEM, EDAX, XPS, UVvis-NIR spectroscopy and FTIR.
